I haven’t been shooting in a while and today I got to the range. I went with my fiance and her aunt who hasn’t shot in many years. Today we had a bit of variety in the guns we shot. We got to shoot my Ruger Mark II Gov’t Target .22 and my Sig Sauer [...]

Something not everyone knows about silencer use is gas blowback. It’s never seen in movies or tv. When you shoot a silenced firearm, there is the possibility of gas being blown back through the barrel and action and at the shooter. It can be anything from mild and barely noticeable to uncomfortable (sometimes called “gasface”). [...]

I went shooting with my fiance today and got some trigger time with my silencer. The video shows my Sig P220 .45 ACP shooting some 230 gr. Magtech FMJ with and without the AAC Tirant installed. The buzzing sound is the door alarm to the range. It’s a cease fire notice to save the ears [...]

I saw the write up on these in this month’s American Rifleman. We’ve had Glocks come with these installed from the distributor. From the guns I’ve seen, they are unreliable, difficult to adjust, and prone to breaking. I’ve seen one stick on and only turn off when the batteries were pulled or they ran out. [...]

Well it’s been a long time since I got a chance to post. I’ve been really busy lately. I got to put my hands on a Glock Gen4 the other day. Overall I like the changes. I like the smaller grip. I haven’t gotten to shoot one so I don’t know if the new recoil [...]

Thanks to Steve’s coverage of SHOT Show, we know the TDI Kriss will be available in a pistol configuration and also will be released in .40 S&W. The pistol configuration is for people who want a short barrel without going through the NFA hoops. The only trade-off is you can’t put a stock on it. [...]

This is sad news. I liked Charles Daly for bringing a lot of the Israeli stuff over. They were working on bringing the IWI Tavor over. At least the Bul 1911s and the Jerichos will be available through Magnum Research. Hat Tip – The Firearm Blog

U.S. Firearms, makers of fine Single Action Army and 1911 pistols, is reintroducing the classic Colt Woodsman .22. They are going to be manufacturing the 2nd Generation Woodsman Match. They will be distributed exclusively by Davidson’s. The Outdoow Wire reports: (Emphasis added) The New USFA WOODSMAN® Match .22 is hand crafted just like you’d expect [...]

First time I’ve ever seen a 1911, or any automatic pistol, with an octagon barrel. Detonics is going to be releasing the 3rd iteration of the Combat Master. It has some other interesting features. The front sight is on the barrel instead of the slide. This is to help rapid follow up shots. The front [...]

Rumor has it that Ruger is going to release the LCR in .357 Magnum. I wonder if they’ll discontinue the .38 model. Hat Tip: The Firearm Blog
